  Enjoying my retirement by doing some engineering. Developed logging and tracking hardware and software for near space projects using high altitude balloons. Now working with Ohbot Ltd., on a government research project on Robotics and AI, involving developing AI capabilities with a humanoid robotic head, developing the software and selecting the hardware. So after all these years (50+) of engineering I'm still reading data sheets and building prototypes. Enjoying my retirement by doing some engineering.
